Azul: Master Chocolatier

No — in later rounds you may not place tiles of a color into a pattern line whose corresponding chocolate-box row already contains that color (this restriction prevents placing those tiles there). (See page 3.)

Yes — the first player to take tiles from the center takes the starting player marker and places it on the leftmost free space of their foundry line. (See page 2.)

You always score immediately when placing a tile: if it has no adjacent tiles you get 1 point; otherwise count and score all horizontally linked tiles, then separately count and score all vertically linked tiles (both scores apply). (See page 4.)

Any excess tiles that don’t fit in the chosen pattern line must be placed in your foundry line (filling left to right); if the foundry is full, further fallen tiles go to the game box lid. (See pages 2–3.)

During the Box confection phase you go through pattern lines top to bottom and move the rightmost tile of each complete pattern line to the matching color space in the corresponding chocolate-box row (then remove the remaining tiles from that pattern line to the lid). (See page 3.)

After the game ends you gain +2 points for each complete horizontal line of 5, +7 points for each complete vertical line of 5, and +10 points for each color of which you have placed all 5 tiles. (See page 5.)
